Windows 7 new apps windows with no focus

"I have this issue with a Microsoft keyboard on a Windows XP machine as well. It seems to be a problem with either the Microsoft IntelliType software or keyboard driver, and it seems to be just the calculator button.

One ""solution"" from the Windows 7 Taskforce website is to tap the key twice to pull the calculator to the front.

This same behavior also appears when the calculator key is set to launch another program - see Issue 302 for SpeedCrunch."

"Do you have other applications open when this happens? And does it happen if there's nothing open?

I ask because Windows 7 is really good for preventing applications from stealing focus if you're in the middle of something."
